Theme #3

From reading this play, I think the theme is that even though the future is futile, always keep your core values and keep hoping to yourself. Mr. Frank says that there are no bolts in your mind, and Anne had hoped in God from her Judaism. This had leaded her to living out every day with hope to make her optomistic. She had something to look forward to and the thought of the invasion had been the impetus of her living the horrible life she had. There is nothing about hoping and keeping your thoughts in your mind, and this quote from her father I think had leaded to Anne living a life without great burden. I mean some people would have commited suicide or died out of extreme depression.
